Vinegar makes an awesome hair conditioner

One of the best hair tips I ever got was to rinse with diluted vinegar after shampooing. It sounds weird, but it works wonders. It removes shampoo residues, makes hair softer and shinier, and even works as a detangler.

After shampooing and rinsing my hair, I fill a cup with water and add a couple tablespoons of vinegar. Then I tilt my head slightly back and pour the solution over my hair (the tilting is to keep vinegar out of my eyes). I usually give my hair a quick rinse with plain water, but some people prefer to leave the vinegar solution in. Doing so won’t hurt your hair, and the smell will go away as your hair dries.

If the cup has disappeared from the shower, I pour a couple tablespoons of vinegar into the palm of my hand, work it through my hair, and then rinse.

It’s easy, cheap, and can save you a ton of money on commercial hair conditioner. Try it and let me know if you like the results!

I've tried this before but I convinced myself I could smell the vinegar all day... I presume the affect is just due to making the water more acidic so i wonder if using another mild acid (such as very dilute citric acid) will also work?
